example, if the subject name of your CA’s certificate is
CN=testCA, O=example.com, C=US
, and you set
dnComps
to use the
O
and
C
attributes of the DN, the server starts the search from the
O=example.com
,
C=US
entry in the directory.
If you leave the
dnComps
field empty, the server checks the value in the
baseDN
field and searches the directory tree specified by that DN. The server searches
the entire LDAP tree for entries matching the filter specified by
filterComps
parameter values.
filterComps.
Type components the server should use to filter entries that result
from the search. The server uses the
filterComps
values to form an LDAP

for and match entries in the LDAP directory.

configuration generic so that the Certificate Manager is able to locate any
end-entity entry in the directory.
Creating a Publisher for the CA Certificate
Creating a publisher for the CA certificate involves creating an instance of the
publisher module that enables the Certificate Manager to publish the CA certificate
to the correct attribute in the CA’s directory entry. Later, when creating the LDAP
publishing rule for the CA certificate, you specify the publisher you create here.
To create a publisher:
